What is the Property Registry?

The Property Registry administers the land registration systems established under the Real Property Act and the Registry Act and the personal property registration system established under the Personal Property Security Act�

The Property Registry is comprised of the Land Titles Office and the Personal Property Registry�

The Land Titles Office head office is located in Winnipeg, with five regional offices in Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Morden, Dauphin and Neepawa� The Personal Property Registry is located in Winnipeg in the same space as the Winnipeg Land Titles Office�

The Registrar General exercises general oversight for both registration systems and may make, amend and repeal rules of practice that relate to the registration systems� The Registrar General is appointed under the Civil Service Act�

The Registrar General designates the statutory officers who have the powers and obligations granted to them under the Real Property Act and the Personal Property Security Act�

These statutory officers include district registrars, deputy district registrars, the examiner of surveys, deputy examiners of surveys, a Registrar of Personal Property Security and deputy registrars� The statutory officers are accountable to the Registrar-General�

The Property Registry does not include other provincial registries such as the Companies Office and Vital Statistics�

Decision to Proceed

In its 2012 budget, the Province of Manitoba committed to find operating efficiencies to deal with two significant economic challenges:

• The lingering impact of the 2008 financial collapse that resulted in the worst global recession since the Great Depression�

• The financial impact of the flood of 2011 that resulted in more than $1 billion in unanticipated financial costs for Manitoba�

As part of this initiative, the Province of Manitoba sought to identify $75 million in the sale of public assets�

Within this context, Teranet approached Manitoba to express its interest regarding a transfer agreement where it would take over the operations of the Property Registry� The province subsequently asked Teranet to outline terms of such a potential agreement� This included an up-front fee for assets of $7 million and an additional $68 million as part of a licensing agreement to provide land titles services on behalf of the Province of Manitoba�

In addition, Teranet would also collect the Land Transfer Tax and immediately transfer it to the Province of Manitoba and would offer positions to all of the 120 employees�

Those employees would also continue to be represented by the Manitoba Government Employees Union and would retain membership in the Civil Services Superannuation Plan�

As well, the Property Registry was in need of a significant capital investment to move to an online system� Teranet agreed to take on the costs of that investment as part of the licensing agreement�

What is Teranet?

Teranet is an international leader in electronic land registration and is the exclusive provider of online property search and registration in Ontario� It was founded in 1991 as a public-private partnership to automate the Ontario public land registry system�

In 2008, Teranet was acquired by Borealis, the infrastructure investment arm of the Ontario Municipal Employee Retirement System (OMERS)�

In December 2010, the Province of Ontario extended its exclusive relationship with Teranet by 50 years, a commitment which demonstrates that province’s confidence in the service it provides�

In addition to the company’s services for Ontario, Teranet offers innovative electronic solutions to a network of more than 80,000 end users, 38 real estate boards and more than 250 municipalities and institutions in the legal, real estate, government and financial markets�

In a 2012 customer experience survey, Teranet garnered a score of 87�6 per cent for this value-added solutions line of business�

Terms of the Agreement

After determining Teranet was able to serve the interests of Manitoba, formal terms of the agreement were negotiated, including:

• ensuring a high-quality service at no cost to government• gaining expert service delivery from an experienced provider• receiving an upfront payment of $75 million and stable and escalating revenue

for 30 years• establishing a new Manitoba company with associated economic benefits• reducing the civil service without job loss • modernizing systems to improve service to clients• retaining provincial oversight and ownership of official data• continuing operation of office locations, and ensuring the province agrees to any

change in these requirementsOn December 13, 2012, Teranet and Manitoba officially agreed to the terms of the sale and a public announcement was made by both Manitoba and Teranet about the intent to proceed� The key terms of the deal were publicly disclosed in a news release�

The general terms of the transaction covered the sale of the TPR assets and the grant of an exclusive concession to provide services to Manitoba and an exclusive licence to access, copy, transmit, use and distribute the official data�

Determining Fairness of Deal

To help government assess the appropriateness of Teranet as the potential providers of this service and the fairness of the deal, Manitoba retained Deloitte Canada to review and provide its assessment� Deloitte Canada is a professional services provider, including audit, tax, accounting and financial advisory services�

Deloitte reviewed the deal and Teranet’s operations, and provided Manitoba with advice on various aspects, including points for negotiating the final terms� Manitoba used this advice to negotiate and finalize the terms and details of the deal, over the subsequent two years�

Because Deloitte reviewed the financial and other information related to Teranet and the Property Registry, details of their work are confidential and could harm the competitive and financial positions of Teranet� That said, Deloitte has provided a summary of its work, which will be published along with this contract summary�

Deloitte researched and advised about the following points:

• Teranet’s relationship with Ontario• Teranet’s operating model in Ontario• that Teranet was the only significant private sector company operating a property

registry similar to Manitoba’s in a Commonwealth country• Teranet’s financial situation• fairness of the proposed purchase and licensing deal

Deloitte provided points of negotiation, which were pursued, and concluded the aspects of the financial arrangement were reasonable�

Legal Agreements

Five detailed legal agreements were reached with Teranet� The first was signed on February 7, 2014 and the remainder were signed immediately prior to the transfer of the Property Registry on March 28, 2014� They include:

• the Master Agreement• the Licence and Service Provider Agreement • the Asset Purchase Agreement• the Gain Sharing Agreement• the Transitional Services Agreement

Master AgreementThe Master Agreement sets out some parameters of the deal, including dispute resolution, required legislation, asset purchase, royalty structure, the collective agreement, the service provider agreement, use of logos, transition and software licenses�

Page 7: Transfer of Manitoba’s Property Registry to Teranet Manitoba

7

The Licence and Service Provider Agreement The licence is for a term of 30 years with automatic renewal terms of 10 years, unless either party gives notice at least 24 months before the end of the term it does not wish to extend�

At the end of the term, Manitoba must elect to :

• pay Teranet’s wind-down costs (including employee severance and termination costs); or• in addition to buying the Teranet assets needed to operate (at book value) and

assuming contracts, Manitoba will pay Teranet a commercially reasonable rate for a non-exclusive license to use the TPR Software; or

• enter into a new agreement with Teranet Manitoba maintains ownership of information in the databases, but Teranet has the exclusive right to use the official data and to operate the real property and personal property registries to provide services to the public on behalf of the government�

Teranet will fund its operations by fees, and fees will increase annually according to the agreed upon formula, the Consumer Price Index Plus One�

Teranet Manitoba is entitled to use the official land titles and personal property registry data in the development and distribution of valued-added products, provided they comply with applicable laws, including privacy laws in Manitoba�

The province must approve the value-added product in advance� The fee for the value-added product is set by Teranet, and not subject to the province’s approval�

Regulatory powerThe agreements do not limit or regulate government’s right to govern, but changes in law, regulation or policy which adversely affect Teranet’s economic situation may give rise to a claim for compensation by Teranet� An exclusion to this is Teranet cannot claim for a change in tax law which affects persons generally�

Royalty and Gain SharingThe Province of Manitoba is to receive an annual royalty during the 30-year exclusive licence agreement for the use of the land titles and personal property registry data� The royalty is based on transaction volumes for specified land titles registrations, searches, eligible transactions and transaction volumes for personal property registry registrations and searches�

The amount of the royalty is based on actual volumes compared to the volumes outlined in projections� The details regarding the formula and demographic projections are based on historic usage of registries, and projections of growth� They are forecasts only� Based on the forecast of demographic growth and use, the annual royalty payment was estimated at $11 million in 2014, increasing steadily over time to a projected $24 million by the end of the 30-year licensing agreement�

At the end of the 30-year term or if Teranet Ontario sells a significant portion of its interest in Teranet Manitoba before its end, Teranet Manitoba will apply the formula to determine if a gain-sharing payment is due to Manitoba� The formula allows Manitoba to share in any extraordinary profit because of the licensed service�

OversightOversight of Teranet’s duties as service provider will be maintained by the Office of the Registrar-General (ORG) within the Manitoba Tourism, Culture, Sport, Heritage and Consumer Protection�

Teranet duties are set out in section 3 of the Real Property Act� These duties include the collection and retention of fees, government records, application of FIPPA, duties, confidentiality, reporting of records relating to FIPPA, privacy policy and conflict of interest policy�

RelationshipThe Province of Manitoba and Teranet will need to work together on any operational issues that might emerge� The two joint committees will meet regularly and discuss issues such as performance standards and general contract administration�

Performance triggers have been established related to land titles document registration turnaround time� If the trigger levels are exceeded, Teranet Manitoba must initiate action plans, then up to three remedial plans� Teranet Manitoba will be fined for any lapses� In the event of further lapses, the fine increases per day, and Teranet must retain an independent performance expert�

A more comprehensive performance framework and performance triggers will be agreed upon within the first five years of the agreement and reviewed and renegotiated every five years thereafter�

Employee and Office RetentionThe province will employ the Registrar-General to provide duties of oversight, ensuring that Teranet lives up to the terms of its commitment, including customer service, privacy, quality and general standards�

All of the remaining 120 individuals employed by the Property Registry were offered positions with Teranet Manitoba� A total of 99 staff transferred to Teranet� The remaining staff declined Teranet’s offer of employment�

Staff of Teranet will be represented by the union of their choice and will be covered by the current collective agreement� In 2014, a new collective agreement will be negotiated between Teranet Manitoba and the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union� They will remain part of the Civil Service Superannuation Plan� Employer contributions and any arrangements Teranet has with the Civil Service Superannuation Plan are confidential to Teranet�

The former Deputy Registrar General/District Registrar of the Winnipeg Land Titles Office has been hired by Teranet Manitoba to serve as the general manager of the Property Registry in Manitoba�

Teranet is required to continue to operate its offices� The province must agree to any change in these requirements�

Appendix 1: Legislative Summary

Bill 34, the Property Registry Statutes Amendment Act was introduced into the Manitoba Legislative Assembly May 6, 2013,assented to on September 13, 2013 and proclaimed March 29, 2014�

On September 5, 2013 the matter was brought before the Standing Committee on Social and Economic Development� No public presentations were made against the bill� One written objection from Ontario was received�

The act provides a number of amendments to different pieces of legislation that govern the operations and authorities of the Property Registry, including:

Real Property Act • service provider provisions• confidential information and FIPPA• privacy policy• conflict-of-interest policy• professional stipulations• office hours• payment of fees• appointment of the Registrar-General, Deputy Registrar-General• appointment of the Examiner of Surveys, Deputy Examiner of Surveys• delegation of duties• revocations and qualifications• prohibited employment measures

The Personal Property Security Act• adds definitions and content regarding protection of personal information, registry

service and service provider

The Registry Act• amends service provider as under the Real Property Act�• identifies that records registered under the act are the property of government�

Minor corrections to various acts to clarify that the “service provider” is responsible for operating TPR, its registries, collecting fees and taxes�

Notably, the service provider is required to prepare a privacy policy, a conflict-of-interest policy and is bound by the privacy requirements of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).

REGULATIONS:The Property Registry Statutes Amendment Act has provided for circumstances where regulations can be made or existing regulations amended�

Also a matter of public record in Manitoba, regulations are approved by Cabinet by an Order in Council (OIC) and set out the details that are not appropriate to legislation� For instance, in the legislation there are multiple references to the “service provider”� The regulations identify that Teranet Manitoba LP is the designated “service provider” to provide land registry services and personal property registry services on behalf of the Province of Manitoba� Because legislation is not easily amended, it is usually drafted in a manner that stands the test of time� Regulations can be more easily amended, and so details such as names that may change in time rest here�

The regulations also set out the specific fees and annual fee increases for the Property Registry products� Annual fee increases are tied to the Consumer Price Index plus one�

The regulations identify that the legislation and regulations will come into force on proclamation� The published Order in Council 94/2014 dated March 12, 2014 proclaimed the act effective March 29, 2014� Other OICs from that day were also made to put in place the regulations under the various acts identified�

(1) During the Term, Teranet Manitoba shall not, without the prior written consent of the Province, assign, whether directly or indirectly, and whether in whole or in part, the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement), except (i) with the prior written consent of the Province as contemplated in this Section 10.2 or except as is expressly contemplated in Section 10.3; and (ii) to a Person to whom all of the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement) have been validly assigned.

(2) Upon the Province receiving prior written notice from Teranet Manitoba with full details of a proposal with respect to any proposed assignment of the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement), the Province agrees that the consent to such proposed assignment, as the case may be, will not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed provided that the Province, in determining whether to consent, may take into account the creditworthiness of the assignee and whether the assignment will have an adverse impact on the delivery of the TPR Services.

(3) Any assignee of the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement) must agree to be bound by the terms of the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement). For greater certainty, if the Province consents to an assignment by Teranet Manitoba in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(2), then, upon such assignment and the assumption by the assignee of Teranet Manitoba obligations, Teranet Manitoba shall be released of all of its obligations under the Definitive Agreements in respect of which it has made the assignment.

(4) Notwithstanding Section 10.2(1), Teranet Manitoba may assign the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement) to an affiliate of Teranet Manitoba (the “Teranet Affiliate Assignee”) without the consent of the Province, provided that:

(a) the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement) are each assigned to the Teranet Affiliate Assignee;

(b) the Teranet Affiliate Assignee assumes all of Teranet Manitoba’s obligations under the Definitive Agreements (other than the Gain Sharing Agreement) from and after the assignment or transfer; and

(c) the Teranet Affiliate Assignee is capable of assuming and performing Teranet Manitoba’s obligations under the Definitive Agreements.

(5) Teranet Manitoba shall be released from its obligations under the Definitive Agreements upon any assignment under Section 10.2(4) with the Province’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Teranet Manitoba granting a security interest in all or any part of the real and personal property of Teranet Manitoba including an assignment of any and all material agreements necessary to hold, use or operate the Teranet Manitoba assets including the Definitive Agreements;

in connection with a third party financing or financings arranged at a future date, provided that such consent will be more fully documented at the time of such financing in a Step-In Agreement. If requested by any lender under a financing arrangement, the Province, acting reasonably, will consider any amendments to the form of Step-In Agreement that the lender may reasonably request; provided that the Province shall be provided with a reasonable period of time to consider any such proposed amendments. Teranet Manitoba shall provide the Province with written notice of any such financing prior to the closing thereof.

Section 10.4 Assignment

(1) The Province shall not, without the prior written consent of Teranet Manitoba, in its sole discretion, assign, whether directly or indirectly, and whether in whole or in part, the Definitive Agreements.

(2) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(1), the Province may, without the consent of Teranet Manitoba, assign its rights and obligations under the Definitive Agreements to an agent of the Province for which the Province has full liability for all of the agent’s obligations and liabilities (a “Province Permitted Assignee”) provided that:

(a) the Definitive Agreements are each assigned to the Province Permitted Assignee;

(b) the Province Permitted Assignee assumes all of the Province’s obligations under the Definitive Agreements from and after the assignment or transfer; and

(c) the Province Permitted Assignee is capable of assuming and performing the Province’s obligations under the Definitive Agreements.

Section 13.1 Confidentiality

(1) Teranet Manitoba and the Province shall receive and maintain all Confidential Information received from the other in confidence and shall not disclose such information to others, except where permitted by this Agreement; provided that each Party may disclose this Agreement and Confidential Information to any proposed lenders, proposed assignees and proposed transferees of such Party, in each case on a confidential basis. Each Party shall take all reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information of the other Party or any part thereof from any use, disclosure or copying except as expressly authorized by this Agreement. Each Party shall take all reasonable steps by contract or otherwise to ensure that its agents, officers, employees and representatives maintain the obligation of confidentiality imposed hereunder, and agreements between Teranet Manitoba or the Province and their respective sub-contractors shall contain provisions similar to this Section 13.1.

(2) The obligation not to disclose Confidential Information set out in Section 13.1(1) does not apply to Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to court order, other legal compulsion, or as required by Applicable Law, provided that the receiving Party must first give the disclosing Party notice of such compelled disclosure (except where prohibited by Applicable Law from doing so) and must use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the disclosing Party with an opportunity to take such steps as it desires to challenge or contest such disclosure or seek a protective order. Thereafter, the receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information, but only to the extent required by Applicable Laws.

(3) Notwithstanding Section 13.1(1) and (2), the Province shall be permitted to disclose information relating to aggregate transaction volumes for services comprising the TPR Services, to the extent such information is readily available to Teranet Manitoba, to a Person (a “Proponent”) responding to a request for interest or request for proposal issued by the Province in connection with the provision of TPR Services following the expiry or termination of this Agreement provided that the Proponent enters into a non-disclosure agreement with Teranet Manitoba in form and substance acceptable to Teranet Manitoba, acting reasonably.
